karamazov80 Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 Like Batman Forever? Lord, I hope not. My expectations are not too high for this one, but I think that, given the director, it should be a fun movie for what it is. The casting, for one, is spot on in my opinion, so that's one thing. We shall see about the rest. . .hurm. . . --edit: I added a spoiler alert now, so now one will fear having the movie "spoiled," sorry about that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Dear god almighty I'm at school and cannot see these due to the blocker. MUST SEE PICTURES! What scenes are they from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Dear god almighty I'm at school and cannot see these due to the blocker. MUST SEE PICTURES! What scenes are they from? The two best ones are Rorschach walking down the street, and the newspaper stand. Both look like they were lifted right out of the comic. If the look of these pictures is any indication of the final movie, it should be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadpool Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I am so ridiculously psyched. This'll be the first time I wear a costume to a movie at a midnight showing. I'm gonna be Rorshach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As awesome as that sounds, I'm curious-won't that interfere with actually watching the movie? What with your eyes being covered and all.

karamazov80 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Wouldn't it be much easier to go as Dr. Manhattan? All you need is blue paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omendreamer Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Wouldn't it be much easier to go as Dr. Manhattan?

karamazov80 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Rorschach is the best. He's a total badass. "Flame on!": http://www.aintitcool.com/images2008/watchmen.jpg This would be the first comic-related movie over the last few years that I would really be excited to get Minimates for. . .

HotstufflouieB Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 You think they will seriously make Minimates out of these? I would love it but I wanted those figures that DC Direct was supposed to make but something with Alan Moore happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Looking forward to this movie in a big way. It was Watchmen, V for Vendetta and Lobo's paramilitary xmas special that got me back into comics...never stopped reading 2000ad though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 You think they will seriously make Minimates out of these? I would love it but I wanted those figures that DC Direct was supposed to make but something with Alan Moore happened Sadly, I don't think they will, but not for the reason that you are referring to. Though I'm not familiar enough with that situation to know either way, I don't see how Moore could keep figures based on his creations from being made while not being able to stop people from making movies that he doesn't want made with the exact same characters in them. I actually sort of expect to see figures released for that movie. I mean, how many action movies with colorful characters don't get action figures made nowadays? If you couldn't market and exploit those characters, then it seems like it would be harder to justify all the expenses. . .though admittedly, targeting kids would be a bit difficult for a potentially hard-R Watchmen, and this ain't no Transformers. But I digress, I was only trying to say that I would be more excited about figures from that movie than previous movies that have spawned Minimates, because they would actually be characters that weren't already released in superior Minimate form (as opposed to most of the X-Men, Spiderman, Hulk, and in my opinion, Iron Man minimates), and would still look pretty comic accurate (based on what I've seen), which, again, can't be said for all the other released or proposed movie-based 'Mates.

MiniFiend UK Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 The Comedian, the Night Owl, Ozymandias, the Silk Spectre! I was just about to post this stuff myself. Now excuse me while I have a geekgasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 The Comedian, the Night Owl, Ozymandias, the Silk Spectre! Yay! Thoughts: Comedian: Nice! A small deviation for some realism, but he still looks great! Love the look on his face. Nite-Owl: Batman Begins anyone? He looks really nice. I like the fact that it's still clearly Nite-Owl, even with the more "practical" appearance. Of course, it was designed for practicality, so it all works. Love the look of Artie too! Ozymandius: I'd have liked a bit more gold on the outfit. Still a very great Egyptian themed outfit.STORY SPOILER: A tad evilish though. Hope they don't give that away. That'd piss me off. Rorschach: Perfect. Damn perfect. Silk Spectre: Wish she was standing upright. It seems good. Now why don't we get to see Doc Manhattan? EDIT: Also, Gerard Butler as the Captain in Marooned. http://watchmencomicmovie.com/022808-watch...rard-butler.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Looks great! I had to pull the Watchmen TPB out a few days ago and start re-reading it. Last time I read it was the night Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. I couldn't sleep... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Can't wait for this either, Rorschach looks spot on. I lent my Watchmen TPB to someone last Easter, and I still haven't got it back yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Seeing as we are talking 'where is my TPB'... Mine is about 8k miles away on another continent! Shame as it's probably due another re-read. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Magnus Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Well, not exactly what I was expecting for the costumes. I was hoping for a more realistic approach rather than the crazy rubbery leather type stuff. Rorschach sticks out like a sore thumb now. Judging by the others, shouldn't he have an armored trench coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
